Project V Day Thirteen: Acorn

Acorns are awesome.

Dear Acorn,

You are important. Not just 'you' as in the entire acorn race, but you as an individual acorn. I pass about a kazillion nuts on my daily walks but you are the one that caught my eye - so much so in fact, that I had to pick you up, put you in my pocket, and paint your portrait. I am by no means a great, almighty being but I know my acorns and you, Acorn, are a special one.

Best regards,

Layla

Day 7: Roseate Spoonbill, 12x9"

Roseate Spoonbill, you are one interesting looking dude. Their deep pink coloring is similar to a flamingo. They use their unusual beak to feed on crustaceans by swinging it from side to side as it steadily walks through the water.

Project IV Day 18: Turkey Vulture (again)

I can't stop with the Turkey Vultures. I think I might have been one in a past life. Is that why I'm such a dirtbag ?

Project IV Day 25: Hoatzin Nestling

Yes, this guy does indeed exist. He is a Hoatzin nestling. One thing you should know about these birds is that they are born with two claws on each wing. They are clumsy in flight and use these claws to climb about in their native swamps of Venezuela and Guyana. Once they reach adulthood, they those their claws. Dinosaur times-style.
